Baseball Today (And Tonight)!

Wakefield struggled against the bottom of the Twins order, giving up four singles to the first five guys to bat in the second. Toss in an outfield throwing error from Brad Wilkerson and Minnesota led 3-0.

Gumball Bailey's single scored Yook in the fourth and Jed Lowrie's RBI triple brought Wilkerson home to close the gap to 3-2. But Billy Traber crapped the cot in the eighth, allowing four singles and two runs before recording an out.

Justin Masterson and Manny Delcarmen looked good out of the pen in relief of Wake. Ramon Ramirez pitched a strong seventh inning, striking out two of his three batters.

The one time all year I root against the Red Sox ;) I expect the final to end up closer to the traditional 22-1, but it must have been a thrill for those guys to be beating half of the Red Sox for half of the game. :p
